Bywyd Gwyllt Glaslyn Wildlife - GLASLYN OSPREYS SEPTEMBER TO END FEBRUARY 2019

Sunday 1st April

Mrs G returns just after 2pm (time to be confirmed)

Thursday 5th April

On two separate occasions, Rutland-born female, Blue 3J, and Scottish male, Blue HR7, visit the nest. HR7 was seen around Glaslyn last year, Mrs G seems comfortable with him and they later mate.

Later in the evening there is an unringed male osprey on the scene, who looks very much like Aran. When he lands on the Glaslyn nest with the remains of a fish there is no mantling and no attempt to share the fish with Mrs G

[This male is later confirmed to be Aran]
